~picking up her quill nibbling the end as she thinks on how to say this.~

Dear sister, dear swtpea, sometimes our parents do some terrible things to us, for example embarrassing us when we are a teenager by wanting to be our *shock/horror* friend or even worse friends with our friends. Wanting to be cool and with it.

But what your parents did to you beggars belief. To plan for a baby to be born on the 26th of December almost borders on abuse.

Not for you the ploy of "please can I have that pony, bike (insert expensive present) it can be for my birthday and for Christmas" in the full knowledge that if you are born in May as flicka was, then by Christmas all will be forgotten.

~swooping you into a girl's arms~ flicka wishes all happiness for you and for you to celebrate many birthdays to come.

Happy birthday pea!

God gave us the gift of life;it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.

"I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness...as a woman I want to be dominated...I donít mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding." Anais Nin.
